Trumpia vs SimpleX Chat
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Trumpia and SimpleX Chat — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Trumpia vs SimpleX Chat: at a glance
What is Trumpia?
Trumpia's feed is SMS-marketing SEO content, with no product releases surfacing
Every recent entry is search-optimized blog content — competitor comparison posts (vs. SimpleTexting, EzTexting, Twilio) and SMS-marketing how-to guides. None describe a change to the Trumpia product, and the cadence is slow, so there is no product state to read from this window.
What is SimpleX Chat?
SimpleX builds out channels in the v7.0 beta, layering broadcast roles onto its no-identifiers messenger
SimpleX Chat is mid-way through its v7.0 beta cycle, and the throughline is channels: web previews to read posts before joining, owner-managed relays, promotable subscriber-to-contributor roles, and supporter badges. Interleaved with the feature betas are armv7a build tags that are merge-only and carry no release content.

Trumpia's feed is SMS-marketing SEO content, with no product releases surfacing
◆ Current state
Every recent entry is search-optimized blog content — competitor comparison posts (vs. SimpleTexting, EzTexting, Twilio) and SMS-marketing how-to guides. None describe a change to the Trumpia product, and the cadence is slow, so there is no product state to read from this window.
◆ Where it's heading
The editorial emphasis is on automation, segmentation, and AI-assisted customer communication as differentiators, framed mostly through competitor comparisons. That maps marketing positioning, not product direction.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued comparison and SMS-ROI SEO content; the entries provide no visibility into the actual product roadmap.

SimpleX builds out channels in the v7.0 beta, layering broadcast roles onto its no-identifiers messenger
◆ Current state
SimpleX Chat is mid-way through its v7.0 beta cycle, and the throughline is channels: web previews to read posts before joining, owner-managed relays, promotable subscriber-to-contributor roles, and supporter badges. Interleaved with the feature betas are armv7a build tags that are merge-only and carry no release content.
◆ Where it's heading
The privacy-first, no-user-identifiers messenger is adding a broadcast/community layer on top of its 1:1 and group foundations. v7.0 reads as SimpleX's push toward public channels as a first-class surface, with the role system (owners, contributors, subscribers, supporters) and relay management being the scaffolding for larger, semi-public communities while keeping the metadata-minimal model.
◆ Prediction
Expect v7.0 to stabilize out of beta with channels fully fleshed out, and the supporter-badge work to hint at a creator/monetization angle for channel owners.
